I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Databricks (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Contacted by recruiter, set up phone screen for a month away. Phone screen was an algorithms problem, immediately rejected after phone screen, so make sure your phone screen-er likes you.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Shortest Path with Obstacles in a 2x2 matrix, there are multiple modes of "transport" with each transport having a time and cost associated. Find the fastest/cheapest mode of transport.
Had an initial recruiter screen for a Software Engineer position. The call lasted around 15 minutes and covered the usual ground: my background and experience, motivation for applying, current role, and salary expectations. The recruiter also gave a clear overview of teams, the product, and the full interview process ahead.
1. Phone interview with HR.
2. Technical coding question using coder pad. Have to implement from scratch.
Interview process was very fast and recruiter was friendly

Question 1
Why Databricks?
Past experience.
Projects you have worked on
didn't make it past the first technical round. questions are decently challenging (ie: leetcode med/hard level difficulty), and can range from very mathy topics to bit manipulation, to dynamic programming. be prepared for all scenarios and all topics on leetcode.
